Tonight's blog post, like I teased last night, pertains to the "little people," aka the residents of Tree Hill under 5 feet that have only added to the awesomeness of OTH since they arrived, beginning in season 5.
1. James Lucas Scott. Oh Jimmy Jam, we have all loved you since you first gave angry bearded Daddy Nathan that precious drawing in 5x01. Since then, you have shown wisdom beyond your years 99.9% of the time you have been onscreen and proved once again that children have better instincts about people than adults (after all, only you believed in Dan after all of these years). Some of your best lines are (but not limited to) "What's under all of those clothes Brooke Davis?" "Brooke PENELOPE Davis." "I have a floppy eared bunny named Chester." "I look like a tool." "I didn't like it!!" and my personal favorite: when Brooke asked how old you were in Season 5 and you looked at your fingers and held up 4, all the while continuing to eat your chocolate ice cream cone. Jamie, you have been adorable for 4+ years, shout-out to Jackson for kicking ass onscreen and giving us so many "awww" moments.
2. Logan Evans: Oh Logan, I never thought we would ever see someone as a rival to Jamie's cuteness, but you proved us all wrong. The moment you spoke onscreen (something about a plane), I was hooked, and immediately wanted Quay (yupp decided on that) to adopt you. Little did I know you were actual Clay's son. (Well done, MS). Ever since then, you have been cuter than cute. I have been fans of Quay for awhile, but you and you alone have succeeded in converting many more fans to that couple-dom, so well done. When you stuck your tiny fist in the air with the Green Latern ring to help your Dad propose, you reached new heights of adorability. Here's to hoping you call Quinn "Mom" in the finale, because I would cry of happiness.
3. Davis Baker: You are the cutest little baby I have seen on television in years. You have been so cute all season long, especially in last night's episode when Brooke said "say good job to Daddy" and you babbled into the phone. You are so cute that MS would have had to deal with a very angry Brooke Davis and ME had he hurt you in the infamous car incident or when stalker Xavier came a'calling. I can't wait to see the 5 year old you in the predicted time jump in the finale.
4. Lydia Scott: Oh Lydia Bob, you are cute as well. While it was confusing for awhile there when you were played by 3 different babies who looked nothing alike, I now am pleased that straight-haired version of you has stuck. Your first steps were precious, as well as when you were playing with your animal toys with your Mommy in last night's eppie. You are one lucky girl, Lydia, not only do you have the best and most attractive parents ever, but you have the best big brother. Also, you will never remember the dark days of your Dad's unfortunate long-haired/bearded wheelchair days, or the horrible time when he was kidnapped. Here's to hoping that you have a happy childhood in the Naley household, but we all know you will.
5. Jude Baker: You are quite the cutie as well Jude. I have to say my personal favorite is Davis (don't judge, I am allowed to play favorites they aren't my kids). However, Jude you are cute too and I have to congratulate you on being the first kid in Tree Hill (minus Logan) to not be named after a last name or a dead mom. Wooo hooo! Go Jude, Mr. Original.
6. Sawyer Brooke Scott: Sawyer, for the approximately 20 seconds you were onscreen in the season 6 finale, you were very cute. However, your parents chose to take you away to New Zealand for no apparent reason, so you got put on the bottom of our list. Hope you're having fun down under and riding kangaroos or whatever the hell it is you and your parents are doing there. P.S. Sorry you have a dude's name.
Well that's it for tonight. Sorry for the overuse of "cute" "adorable" and varaitions of such words. But really, how could I not with these cuties? Thanks for reading! Comments are welcome and encouraged!

7 Tree Hillers Who Have Gone To Heaven
In tonight's featured post, we will honor the Fallen of Tree Hill. But first I want to say that it just hit me that next week will be the last episode of OTH ever, and I am beginning to mourn. Usually at this time of the year we are all saying "suck it, CW, we got renewed." However, this is really it this time and I am extremely sad. Now, onto mocking the dead (television-dead only of course).
1. Keith Scott- We obviously have to open with Keith Scott, because he is awesome and because his death scene has been flash-backed to more than any other scene in television history. Seriously, I have memorized the camera angles for that scene and the evil look on Dan's face. Oh Keith, you have been missed, although not as much as we originally thought since your ghost tends to pop up occasionally (kinda surprised you didn't guide Clay through his near death experience, even though you two had never met because that seems like a MS thing to do). You were a great guy, Keith. From selling your only source of income to pay for Luke's medical bills, to wooing Karen for 3 seasons and finally winning her heart, you were swell. You'll always be remembered, Keith, mostly because Sister and I cannot see lilies without giggling about you.
2. Dan Scott- Congrats on getting on our list Dan (as Keith's plus-one). You were quite the little super-villain there for awhile, bud. Still cannot believe you actually married Rachel? Killing Keith I understand (kidding peeps-relax) but marrying RACHEL? c'monn. However, you always managed to redeem yourself in the end and NO ONE will ever forget the sweet killing all of the Russian basketball mobsters sequence. (Cue Rambo music). RIP Dan, I'm sure if Naley has another boy his name will be Daniel in your honor (oooohh FLASH-FORWARD PREDICTION-you heard it first here).
3. Quentin Fields- Oh Q, I will be forever grateful to you for teaching Jamie the "Oh Hott Damn" song that inspired many adorable dance parties with the Scott fam. You also helped Nate get back into NBA shape, which led to a sweaty James Lafferty on our screens (Seriously, we all owe ya one).
4. Lydia James- First of all, this woman should be a saint for marrying a man with the same first and last name. Second, I was always pleased with her whenever she visited the Scott fam in Tree Hill. She was a Naley fan through and through, and because of her we got to see the only pseudo-Christmas OTH ever had. Lydia, I was a little bitter toward you for dying and leaving an angry suicidal Haley in your absence; however, all is forgiven since things with Hales are hunky-dory again. Also, your namesake is really cute.
5. Sarah Evans- Sarah, it is hard for me to look at you and not see Crazy Stalker Katie, but I should try harder not to because its not your fault OTH has budget constraints and has to have the same actress play you, nor is it your fault that MS has an affinity for psycho-stalkers. Moreover, we will all always be in your debt for having the cutest kid ever since Jamie Scott season 5, Logan. Seriously, your kid is adorbs. RIP knowing that newly betrothed Clinn (Quay?- still can't decide) will take good care of him.
6. Peyton's dead mom #1: Anna Sawyer. Dear Anna, we never knew you (not even in flashbacks actually, oddly enough), but we did know your curly-haired emo daughter. Oh, and I guess we knew you were a cheerleader and loved a man named Larry. Hope you like heaven and have welcomed the rest of the Tree Hill deceased with open arms! Sorry your kid didn't name her daughter after you! (Bummer).
7. Peyton's dead mom #2: Ellie (What was her last name? We'll just go with Ellie Rocker.) Ellie Rocker birthed the lovely Peyton and gave her up for adoption. However, they reunited in season 3 and hung out, drove the infamous Peyton-mobile in the rain, and went to a few rock concerts. Glad Peyton finally found someone who like the same music as her. Hope you and Anna are rocking out in heaven! (Again, sorry your kid didn't name her daughter after you either).

8 Absentee Parents
In honor of 8 days until the OTH finale, I have decided to discuss the 8 Worst Parental Units in Tree Hill. In an earlier blog post I briefly discussed the "loosey-goosey" parenting that appears more often than not in Tree Hill. Here are our winners!
1. The top absentee parent goes to.....drumroll......Peyton's parents! (all 4 of them). Now we won't put much blame on Anna (no not Anna of Felix & Anna, her mom Anna). After all, Anna died in a car accident when Peyton was 8 so she isn't absentee by choice. Peyton's other 3 parents, however, have got some 'splaining to do....We'll start with Larry. Sweet, sweet Larry. Seems like a loving father, but he is gone 99.9% of the time, only returning when his daughter gets attacked or shot. Dear Larry, if your daughter is getting attacked and shot while you're gone you probs shouldn't be gone in the first place. Leaving a normal 16 year old girl at home alone 11 months out of the year seems bad enough, but leaving Peyton "I hate the world and have so many problems" Sawyer alone is close to child-abuse. Then we have Peyton's birth parents: Ellie "I show up out of the blue after 17 years because I am dying" and Mick "I am a cool drunk 24/7 rocker Dad" Wolf. These two are just as bad, not because they didn't check in over the years (because hello that is the definition of a closed-adoption), but because they came back at all. At least we got to see where Peyton got her love of slasher music.
2. James James (still cannot believe that is actually his name, who they hell were his parents, they should be on this list) and Lydia James. These two are very supportive, if not a little kooky and provide a fair amount of amusement when they are onscreen. FOR THE 5 SECONDS THEY ARE AROUND. It literally seems like they were waiting around for their 16 year old to get married to her boyfriend of 3 months so they could drive off into the sunset in their RV. Who does that? First of all, even if they were Naley fans they should have made the kids be engaged for a bit before getting married. Maybe then Haley wouldn't have run off on tour at the first sign of conflict. (That's right James parents, I'm blaming you for the 2nd half of season 2). I don't care how hott Nathan was, at least keep an eye on your 16 year old bride (for at least a few episodes anyway).
3. Dan Scott and Deb Scott. Oh, Danny boy, you are lucky that you live in Tree Hill where the bar of good parenting is set so low that you somehow managed to only be number 3 on our list. First of all you abandoned your first son for 16 years and as Sister wisely points out moved back to the same town where said son and former lover reside. STUPIDDD. There is like 8 people in Tree Hill, you really think you're not going to run into them?? Then there is how you handled Nate. No, you weren't absent ever; you were just crazy and over-bearing. Still, I can't hate on you too much, you ended up being a great Grandpa, and I never speak ill of the dead. RIP. As far as Deb goes, I won't say a thing but allow a quote from Haley to Nathan in season 4 to say it all: "Your mom, the former drug addict, attempted murder who dropped a loaded gun in the café?". Well, put, Hales, 'nuff said.
4. Mr. and Mrs. Davis. Brooke's parents were literally never around in high school. Literally. We did not even see Mrs. Davis until season 5 (after Brooke was 18 btw) and Mr. Davis until season 9. These two were so absent that it was never even mentioned why they weren't around. Case and point.
5. Mr. and Mrs. Gatina. Rachel's parents. Ditto to the paragraph above, except their daughter was quite the little party-girl slut in high school and could have used a good time out.
6. Clay and Sarah Evans. Sarah, we don't blame you since you also died unexpectedly a la Anna Sawyer. However, Clay, you forgot your son? Really? How could anyone forget the adorable-ness that is Logan. Seriously that kid is so freakin' cute. At least he finally remembered and can make up for it with good parenting in the next 12+ years.
7. Mr. and Mrs. Scolnick. Chuck's parents are alcoholic and abusive. That says it all I think. Thank God he has a pseudo-Dad in Chase.
8. Karen Roe. Only in season 1 when she leaves and goes off to a foreign cooking school (whattttt??? so dumb. MS I know that Moira Kelley had a baby but you totes could've come up with a different storyline). But other than that goof, Karen was the best parent Tree Hill ever saw. Until the Fab 5 grew up and became parents themselves, that is.
1. The top absentee parent goes to.....drumroll......Peyton's parents! (all 4 of them). Now we won't put much blame on Anna (no not Anna of Felix & Anna, her mom Anna).

9 Days and Counting- What About Love?
In honor of OTH ending, I have decided to do a 9 day tribute with a different topic each day for the last 9 days leading up to the finale. Tonight's topic: What About Love? I have to decided to rank my top fave 9 couples of One Tree Hill (let's see if I can actually come up with 9 haha)
1. Naley: The heart and soul of the show, Tutor Girl and Hott-Asshole turned Sweethart, Nathan Scott and Haley James Scott. Sigh- I could go on forever about these two and their level of precious-ness. They fell in love in season 1 after a beautiful tutoring date on the Riverwalk (who couldn't fall in love in gorgeous Wilmington (er, Tree Hill?). One CrackerJack bracelet, several psychos (of the nanny and tramp variety), one tour gone wrong, two weddings, three dead parents and two beautiful children later, Naley is still going strong. They've survived so much and have done so with an adorable-ness that makes them number 1 in my heart (and each others) (sorry that was cheesy). Always and Forever, Nales.
2. Brulian: Julian "can't high-five without looking awkward" Baker and Brooke Penelope "swore never to love again after Lucas broke her heart" are a close second. These two are so perfect for each other because they both have survived horrible parents and horrible broken hearts. They know how to be there for each other and they always seem to say the right thing to make the other feel better. Julian graced Tree Hill and our screens with his presence starting in season 6, and I have been "on board" (shoutout to sister there) ever since. He has had an ability to understand Brooke that no one else has mastered and his goofy, sweet but awkward personality has been adorbs. Here's to Brulian for making Brooke believe in love again, and having the most adorable twins ever. (Shout-out to my fave Tree Hill bambino- Davis Baker).
3. Clinn (or is it Quay? who knows?) Yupp, I like them better than Leyton, so sue me. Haley's only aforementioned once previously sister and Nathan's hotshot basketball agent joined the OTH fam together in season 7 and within 5 seconds it was obvious to everyone that they would be endgame. (Despite the fact that she was still married. Yeah remember that? Quinn was married to some guy named David who she basically dumped for Clay and then David tried to get revenge by hooking up with sloppy seconds Taylor, but I digress). I have always found these two cute but now that they have the most adorable son ever, Logan, they have moved up on my couple list. (Sorry Leyton, maybe if you had stuck around and I got to see more of Sawyer I would like you better). Congrats, Clay and Quinn for making it through everything you have, including your first Tree Hill psycho-stalker (sorry you guys had to go through that but its like a Mark Schwann hazing ritual or something).
4. Leyton- Lucas "wrong side of the tracks" Scott and Peyton "I hate the world and love black but somehow am a cheerleader" Sawyer have been through a lot. In the first few seasons they secretly hooked up a few times (such as in a hotel room and when she was bleeding in the school library) and then they finally got together at the State Championship b-ball game right before Lucas had a heart-attack (that'll teach you not to waste time, Peyton). Then they almost got engaged a few times, he almost got married, and they finally became endgame. Don't get me wrong, they're cute, I just like the other 3 couples better. But I did enjoy Leyton while we had them (loved their wedding eppie) and wish them all the best in New Zealand (or wherever the hell they are).
5. Mouthie- Marvin "Mouth" McFadden (no not the bar) and Millicent "Millie" Huxtable (no she isn't a Cosby kid). I've always liked these two. They are cute enough that I usually don't get annoyed when they get screen time together (although sister says she has no use for them). Millie is just goofy and nerdy enough to work with Mouth and I'll be happy when they are all lovey-dovey when he is skinny again in the finale.
6. Chia and Chalex: This may seem contradictory but I found Chase cute with both Mia and Alex. I think I probably like him better with Mia, though he and Alex were cute too. Since Jana Kramer is not coming back for the finale (that I know of) I kinda hope that Chia gets another shot (if Kate Voegle comes back).
(This is now becoming difficult)
7. Bevillz (yeah I tried): Skillz and Bevin were hysterical together during high school (who remembers when they were worried about telling their parents about each other because of their bi-racial relationship; and when she "Note-booked" him). Rumor is that Bevin Prince (plays Bevin, in case you didn't deduce that) will be back for the finale so here's to hoping that these two reunite! (for comedic sake).
8. Ummmmm Jamie and Madison? Sureee. They're cute. Go little people!
9. Karen and Keith? Yeah we'll round things out with them. They were extremely cute and were about to make the perfect family (until, you know, his brother shot him in the most-flashbacked to scene ever in OTH) (seriously they show that flashback at least 5 times a year, Craig Shaffer must make bank if he gets royalty rights). But they had their moments, like the only-mentioned once "look for me in the lilies" and when he proposed in the middle of the Cheerleading Competition (or wait-she did) (romantic, Karen).
Well, I managed to do it. The last few were hard. haha thanks for reading and I'll be back tomorrow night!
1. Naley: The heart and soul of the show, Tutor Girl and Hott-Asshole turned Sweethart, Nathan Scott and Haley James Scott.

Oh Danny Boy, It Gets Better.
Wow. What a great hour of OTH. Seriously, best episode this season!
Let's start with the cutest reunion ever. NALEY!
Omg they were adorable the entire eppie. But the reunion. I could not get enough. Neither could Haley apparently since she glued herself to Nathan the entire episode. (Can you blame her, have you seen Nathan??). LOVED the "always and forever" reference. Its been too long since they have said that. I loved how they really showed how much these two need each other.
Also, thoroughly enjoyed when Brooke and Julian went to see them and Brooke was covering her eyes because she just knew they would be making out (Again, clearly Brooke has seen Nathan). The hugging between the 4 of them was precious.
Speaking of Brooke and Julian, they were adorable all episode long. I love how supportive Julian is of Brooke when her parents are soo not-supportive. Best line he said all episode: "There's not room in my tv show for someone who doesn't love Brooke Davis." (I know, TV SHOW? We'll get to that in a bit). But that line was precious.
Also precious was the ever adorable Logan, who gave Clay the cutest hug EVER and finally accepted his Dad. I think the combo of the airplane toy and Clay promising him he wasn't going to leave again really won him over. Also cute was the scene with Quinn and Logan. They were precious.y
Now onto Dan Scott. Oh Danny Boy. You finally redeemed yourself with everyone. Including Keith Scott and God apparently, because they both agreed to let you into heaven. The scenes with Dan and Haley, Nate, Deb, and his grandkids were awesome. (Enjoyed the scene with Deb especially because those two are funny). Shout-out to Paul Johannson for a great 9 years, we will miss ya!
Before I get into the specifics that is Julian's tv show (believe me I WILL), I would like to say again that this episode was the best one all season, and in a long time. Why, you ask? Can't say for sure but I would like to point out that this one revolved only around characters with the last names (or affiliations to the last names) Scott, Baker, and Evans. Interesting.....the best episode all year includes only the Scotts, the Bakers, and the Evans....hmmm.....HELLO MARK SCHWANN do you get what I'm saying here?? We do not need all of those extra characters and unnecessary plotlines. Give us our Naley, our Brulian, and our Clinn and we are perfectly happy. Please and thanks.
Now onto the tv show. Wow! Julian creating a tv show about the book Lucas wrote! About the high school years of the kids at Tree Hill High. So, just to clarify, he's basically writing about the teenhood of his friends in Tree Hill. Which takes place on the show One Tree Hill. Filmed in Wilmington, NC. Hmmmm....where have we seen this before. Hmm....
OH WAIT! Didn't another show do a storyline near the series finale where a character creates a TV show about his teenhood with his friends?? Wait wasn't this show also filmed in Wilmington, NC??? That's right folks, and it was called Dawson's Creek. (For those of you who haven't seen (God forbid!) in the series finale of DC Dawson creates a TV show based on his teenhood and his friends' teenhood-titled The Creek).
Okay I know I just called out MS hardcore. I would like to say that honestly I don't care and think the TV show idea is a good one because I loved the movie idea from season 6 and was sad when they stopped it (btw James Van der Beek aka Dawson was the director on that too). Clearly MS is making a nod to the other Wilmington-filmed show Dawson's Creek. Kudos to him. Just found it amusing that they are doing a similar thing.
Favorite quotes from tonight:
-"Always and forever." (sighh Naley)
-"Work on the clothing line has been kinda slow because I was busy with the Cafe and the a psychopath, and my best friend's husband got kidnapped." (Brooke)
-"You know what's cool, Dad? We both got kidnapped and we both got saved by Grandpa Dan." (Don't know why but roommate and I found this extremely funny and giggled for like 5 minutes, way to find that silver lining, Jamie.)
-"Am I in hell?" (Dan after seeing Deb-funny)
I really did love the episode tonight! Thanks for reading!

Pretty Little Liars: UnmAsked
1. I called it! Totes knew MonA was going to be A just like in the books. For people who are disappointed, think about it. It was too good of a storyline not to use. Plus clearly she's part of some crazy A-team since she had a visitor in the last 5 secs of the episode. I'm sure we'll have a new A next season!
2. SPOBY! Oh my heart. Toby you wonderful man you. Thank you so much for delivering the best line ever to be heard on television "Pretending not to love you was the hardest thing I've ever had to do." And then I lost it. (#thatawkwardmomentwhen you're squeeing at the tv and your not PLL fan of a roommate is there) Who care though? What a guy. Seriously cannot stop raving about these two. All along, Toby was working hard to find a way to protect Spencer from A. Only he could convince Dr. Sullivan to come back and help save the girls. I mean who wouldn't listen to that adorable face? And their kiss. The smiling and the adorable-ness was too much to bear. Must. find. on. youtube. asap.
3. #Ezriagoespublic. Yes this was one of the many trends from tonight as Ezra and Aria lose their masks and dance to Lady A (Antebellum, not MonA). That was adorable as well.
4. Maya :(. In a scene exactly like the pilot (clever, Marlene) the girls show up at Ali's old house to find the police carrying Maya's body out. As much as I am indifferent to Maya (don't hate) the sight of Emily crying was veryy sad. Kudos to Shay Mitchell for acting here.
5. Mona, Mona, Mona. You tried but you couldn't outsmart the smartest Liar ever-Spencer. I mean the girl's a freaking genius (just ask her about the Wexley scale or whatever she said in the beginning). Spencer figures it out and cleverly secretly calls the liars and pulls the parking break to stop the car and get out. (Note to self, do that if every kidnapped). Then Mona falls off of the cliff and we think she dies, but really she gets carted off to the insane asylum. Poor girl, I'd feel bad for her if she didn't try to throw Spencer off of a cliff and hurt Hanna that much.
A lot more happened, but I could not cover it all in one blog. It was a mind f*** of an hour.
Other thoughts:
Spencer saying "We're team Sparia" was cute and funny.
Toby, you are adorable and awesome and I still can't stop talking about that kiss.
Great acting by all tonight. Everyone was so good. Thought that Ashley Benson played the shock and sadness Hanna would feel perfectly.
Now I must go back and rewatch the first 2 seasons for hints.
P.S. OMG SPOBY. Still cannot stop squeeing about it.

Oh no they didn't! : Unnecessary Moments on One Tree Hill
I love One Tree Hill. Really I do. A girl doesn't own all of the seasons of a show and take a special trip to Wilmington, NC for a show she just likes. But, I also love poking fun at One Tree Hill. It's fun to love, and fun to make fun of. That is why I have composed this list of REALLY? moments that I can't believe actually happened.
1. Peyton and Lucas naming their DAUGHTER Sawyer (6x24). I mean, come on. Jamie works because he's a boy and that was the first time they did it. I'll even give them Davis, because it works as a boy's name. But Sawyer? For a girl? Poor kid.
2. Having a dog eat Dan Scott's new heart (6x18). Like, they couldn't use some normal medical reason for not getting him a new heart? Like, the family decided not to donate? Nope, instead a stoned dog has to come into the hospital, cause some guy to trip, spilling the heart on the floor, and the dog eats it. Never mind the plausibility errors here (the cooler would totes be locked, there would never be a dog in the ER like that, and I'm sure that the doctors do not carry the organs just in unauthorized areas like that).
3. The whole storyline with Peyton's dad. 1. The fact that he was a sailor. 2. The fact that he left his high school aged daughter alone at home for long periods of time to fend for herself. I mean it'd be different if she had friends with parents who we're loving, supportive and stable and would let her crash there (i.e. Emily staying with Hanna and her mother on Pretty Little Liars). But. none of Peyton's friends have parents who are around. Come to think of it, what kind of loosey goosey parenting takes place in Tree Hill? I'm going to come out and say that Karen is the only real stable parent in the town. Let's take a closer look:

I'm going to come out and say that Karen is the only real stable parent in the town. Let's take a closer look:
- Peyton: Dad- off at sea (see above). Mom (s)- deceased.
- Brooke: Dad- God know's where. Mom- God know's where. (Until season 5 when she appears, after Brooke is over the age of 18, makes a lot of sense).
- Haley: Her parents are super nice and supportive Naley fans (aren't we all). But letting your 16 year old marry some guy she's been dating for all of 3-5 months and then setting off on a cross-country RV trip does not seem like A+ parenting.
- Nathan: Dad- Crazy, horrible father (until last episode of course). Mom- kind of a drunken slut (no offense, Deb.)
So, we can all see that the parenting in Tree Hill is severely lacking. Back to my list.
4. Deb sleeping with Keith (1x22). Not out of character for her (see drunken slut sentence above), but completely out of character for him. And stupid.
5. Haley leaving Nathan and going on a rock tour with Chris Keller to find herself (2x13). Sooooo dumbbb. We totes did not need Haley to pull a Joey Potter and leave the love of her life to go "find herself." (See Dawson's Creek, season 2). The worst part was when Nate gets all romantic and shows up to surprise her and she is horrible to him. This storyline really ruins season 2, which I like to call the dark days and refuse to watch unless forced. Also, I am especially ticked because this storyline made Nathan break the adorable "Wedding Wall" and burn their first wedding pics. Highly unnecessary.
6. The whole betting on basketball with Daunte and the weird basketball betting lords (4x6). This storyline was stupid and implausible. First of all, who bets on high school basketball games??? Second of all, Rick Fox your career must have really been in the tubes if you decided to guest star on OTH.
7. Karen naming her baby Lily (aren't there enough of those on TV?) and saying it was because Keith told her to look for him in the lilies. When did Karen and Keith EVER reference lilies in their relationship before?!? Like when? Would make sense if he always bought her lilies or something, but he never did. Whatever.
8. Emo Season 5 Nathan. Enough Said. (Especially because they made James have that awful beard and long hair).
9. Nanny Carrie. Enough said. Love Torrey DeVitto though.
10. And finally, the crazy Nate getting kidnapped by Russian Basketball Mobsters (Season 9). But, I've already written about that (see my "Dear Mark Schwann" letter).
Still, despite all of these REALLY?! storylines, I love me some O-T-H. Don't know what I would do without it and will be sad when its gone :(.
I'll be blogging about more OTH stuff as things with the show begin winding down. Thanks for reading!
